Weddings are too much work
A bunga telur is a decorative container for eggs meant to be given away as gifts to guests in a Malay wedding.
When mum brought home a huge box of bunga telur and an ornate copper display stand, I started to have my mini panic attacks. Cartcart and I havent even planned our wedding yet and already mum has been talking and advicing me about our future wedding. I wonder who was more excited - Me or her? :P
She’s been giving me advice like :
- To set the date in the registar of marriages at least 6 months in advance.
- To have a double ceremony
- Drinking jamu to make me more fertile
And the more she talked, the more I am in realisastion that there are so much preparations to do! Not to mention the costs of the ceremony like, catering, invitations, dowry et all. And the more I think about it, the more I am starting to feel overwhelmed.
Why do weddings have to be so much work?

actually. i think it depends on the scale of the wedding. i always wanted to have a simple wedding with only close friends around me.

Didnt she just say that she’s not getting engaged? :P Hehehe
I’d like a simple wedding myself and save money from all those unecessary things, but even the simplest weddings still costs quite abit of money and thats what stresses me out :\
*pushes the thought away*

Ok, 150 divide 28 days is about 5 and a half months .. hehehehe
Thanks for the info :)

Guys drink jamu too? Jamu smells absolutely horrible. I cannot imagine drinking it. But mum insists that its good for the blood circulation so that its easier for me to have kids.
Sad to say, I’ve demoted to a baby making machine :P
